Yellow Jade

Here's another new/old pin, in the sense that it's new to me, but actually an antique. It was given to me by Anne and Kevin for my birthday, who also gave me the Saxophone. As the form is so simple and elegant, I think I'll wear this one for purely decorative purposes, rather than try to imbue it with any deep (and probably artificial) meaning.

The materials are silver and yellow jade (jadeite), making for an uplifting, light combination. There's no name on the back, so I can't say anything about the designer: but the style of the setting is reminiscent of art deco, so I'm guessing it was designed in the 1930s or thereabouts. Don't you love it when friends give you what you want? I know I do.
